One observation from the Jersey Fusion card checklists and the list above is that some of the cards being fused with the relics are pretty “common” while others are a little more rare and valuable on their own. For instance, the card used in the most valuable Jersey Fusion card, Bill Russell 1996 Topps Members only can be purchased on its own for a few bucks. But, once you “fuse” it with multi-color patches and other sweet relics, you have quite the outcome.
On the other end, you have more collectible cards that stand up pretty tall on their own, and are thus catapulted even further with the addition of these game-used relics. From the list above, a few that stick out to me include some of the more rare baseball cards from the 90s like the Nolan Ryan “Elite” Legends Series.
Last, and perhaps my favorite use of a Jersey Fusion card—adding swatches to classic cards that really, for lack of a better term, have defined the hobby. In the junk wax era, fleer pro visions were a (at the time) ine of a kind insert set featuring amazing illustrations.
To end, one thing I’d love to see more of—vintage. I think a great use of the Jersey Fusion is adding a “modern” feel to a card, like they’ve done with older 90s inserts and then some. I’m not saying it’s not being done (there is a sweet 1981 Topps Magic Johnson fused with a logoman patch), just something I’d like to see more of.
